[QUOTE="joetama, post: 1937326, member: 564641"] Placement of your speakers can be something that can make a good system really good or make a good system just ok. In doing some reading on the quarterly issue of Hi-Fi Choice I read a review where the speaker manufacturer recommended that you place the speaker so they are just off square, this is done to keep channel separation and imaging true. I have heard this before and have experimented many times to get the, what I consider, correct placement of my main channels. Over all there wasn’t that much difference between square or arched in. However, they also recommended that you pointed the top of the cabinet slightly towards the ground so the tweeter is still at ear level just not pointed directly at your ear. After playing with this setup idea all day I have come to a surprising conclusion, by pointing my speakers slightly forward it increased clarity considerably. My 703’s were already very bright and crisp with incredible clarity and intelligibility, but this is totally blowing my mind. It is maybe only a few degrees forward but the difference is very audible. Just thought this was something interesting you guys out there can play with. [/QUOTE]
